The Cackle Of Cthulhu

TOP AUTHORS POKE FUN AND PAY TRIBUTE TO HP LOVECRAFT&39;S CTHULHU MYTHOS Knock knock! Who’s there? Cthul Cthul who? Exactly! I&39;ve come to tickle your funnybone Oh and also to eat your soul In 1928 Weird Tales debuted “The Call of Cthulhu” by HP Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos was born In the 90 years since dozens of writers have dared play within HPL’s mind-blowing creation—but never with such terrifyingly funny results Now top authors lampoon parody and subvert Lovecraft’s Mythos See Cthulhu cut short his nap at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean to invade North Korea! Watch the Unspeakable Eater of Souls solve crimes on the pulpy streets of Innsmouth! And speaking of largish Elder Gods listen to a plastic Elvis doll dispense folksy advice straight from the heart of the Emperor of Dread! Again Ol’ Tentacle-Face is confronted by frail humans who dare defy the Incarnation of Ultimate Evil—but this time not by brave monster hunters and terrified villagers but by fan fiction writers clueless college students and corporate lawyers (okay we realize it’s hard to know who to root for in that confrontation) Twenty-three mirthful manifestations within the Cthulhu Mythos from best-selling and award-winning authors Neil Gaiman Mike Resnick Esther Friesner Ken Liu Jody Lynn Nye Laura Resnick Nick Mamatas and many more! Guaranteed to leave you howling Because if you look at it just right there’s nothing funnier than a soul writhing in cosmic horror before a tentacled maw of malevolence As HPL himself saith “From even the greatest of horrors irony is seldom absent”
